Coping with Covid and the lockdown is immensely challenging as a visually impaired or severely sight impaired person. However, there is a useful resource that can help get us through it which is available for anybody to access.

That resource is the Sight Advice frequently asked questions web page. The page answers questions which many people with sight loss have regarding Covid and how it effects us. These topics include, getting about whilst lockdown measures are in place, how to be guided safely, how to maintain social distancing as a visually impaired person and quite a bit more.

A couple of months ago I posted that Steve Bennett from Dolphin Computer Access and I were interviewed on RNIB’s Tech Talk radio show. On the show Steve and I talk about some of Dolphin’s products, specifically SuperNova, Guide, EasyReader app for iOS and Android and the new Reader Pod. The show is now available to listen to at the following link:

An Exciting Day for AVC

Leave a comment

It’s been an exciting day for AVC today. I was invited to take part in a radio interview for RNIB Tech Talk to speak about Dolphin products. The interview featured the show’s presenter, Steven Scott, talking to Dolphin’s Chief Operations Officer, Steve Bennett, and me as both a user of Dolphin products and an accredited trainer on SuperNova and Guide.

 

The show lasts for around 30 minutes in which we talk about the different assistive technology products available from Dolphin, our various experiences of assistive technology in general and address some misconceptions, in particular regarding what SuperNova and Guide can or cannot do.

 

It was a really interesting experience and was actually quite fun. The show is due to go out on air in a couple of weeks time. I will of course post confirmation of the date and time once I know them.

 

James, AVC.
